I wanted to know what other students and professors feel about the need to
produce a lot of papers during graduate school. I had thought this was not an
issue until you did a postdoc, but I have heard some comments that would
suggest otherwise. I thought getting a well-rounded education should be the
key determinant to future success. Are professors weighting paper quantitiy in
thinking about taking on a new postdoc? Does it depend on what field--such as
developmental biology-- you choose to enter? I appreciate any insight into
this matter.
Thanks,
